If you trained outside the US

This program cannot sponsor a student visa. It has not set a citizenship rule, so a permanent resident or an applicant who already holds work authorization may still be eligible.

“Students requiring F1 visas can apply to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing or Master of Nursing programs. Students with international nursing degrees must provide an evaluation from Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools for previous nursing coursework; students with international transcripts for non-nursing degrees must provide an evaluation from World Education Services.”

Credential evaluation
CGFNS for nursing coursework AND World Education Services for non-nursing coursework

Requirements change between cycles, and a program can say one thing on its website and another in an email. Confirm with the program before you pay for a credential evaluation or an English exam. We do not advise on visas or immigration. The full route, step by step

Emory University Nurse Anesthesia Program — frequently asked

What GPA does Emory University Nurse Anesthesia Program require?

Emory University Nurse Anesthesia Program lists a GPA of at least 3.0. Minimums are a floor, not a target — admitted applicants are frequently above them, so treat the stated number as the bar to clear rather than the goal.

How much ICU experience does Emory University Nurse Anesthesia Program require?

At least 12 months of critical-care experience. Most programs want that experience to be recent, in an adult ICU, and at high acuity — the unit you work in usually matters as much as the number of months.

36 months of full-time study, awarding the DNP. Nurse anesthesia programs are front-loaded and clinically intense; most discourage working during the program.

Its published rate works out to $259,794 in tuition — that's our calculation, not a figure the program states (2026-2027 rates). Books, living costs and any fees not included come on top, and because most students can't work much during the program, budget for living expenses across its full length.
